When The Incentive Is There
It must be confessed that jobs are none too
plentiful in this region, nor in any other part of the
civilized world, for that matter.
However, it is quite apparent that the acquisi
tion of a job is not quite as impossible as ijome of
our job hunters are inclined to picture it.
One is inclined tt> this conclusion by a little in
cident which took place right here in Ashland dur
ing the week.
.
A ’young ujan who bad found Ins way. to the
police court by reason of too much imbibing of
“ canned-heat,’1 was given the information that he
would have to either get a job before six o ’clock that
night or spend the next ten days in jail. He got
the job.
It is quite probable that this young man had
been walking the streets for,lo these many days,
looking for a job, and not finding it for the prin
cipal reason that he did not*’Want the job had
enough. The ten-days jail' sentence stariAg him in
the face provided the necessary incentive that en
abled him to land the job.
,
The noted Dwight L. Moody used to say that
“ while it may be tr u e /a s the scriptures' say, that
the wicked flee when nox man pursues; they us
ually make better time when there is somebody
chasing them.”
It is more than likely that many a fellow who
is bewailing the assumed fact that there is no job
for Mm, would Boon be,connected with a job pro
vided there was in store for him a worse calamity
if he failed to land the job.
- One of the chief troubles with many of ¿lie, Job
hunters is the fact that thfey «re too .'jUrttcuiar
what kind of work they do. They are inclined to
look upon some jobs as beneath them, when as a
matter of fact there is no type of honest toil which
is belitting if the work needs to be done and the
worker enters into it in the proper spirit.
z
Oftimes the first job one can get represents
an open road to a good and worthwhile job. This is
the way most of the worthwhile jobs are secured—by
more than making good on the job one is holding.
Faithfulness in the little things is as direct a road
to rulerehip in the business world, which is the
world of jobs, as it is in the spiritual world as
pointed out in the parable of the. talents. *
Man’s Helplessness
Five minutes is but a short period as time is
recorded but in St. Louis it was sufficient to change
several sections of that city to a mass of twisted
wreckage in the ruins of which were hundreds of
injured and many dead. Thursday afternoon thebe
sections were well ordered streets bordered by rows
of residences when the tornado hit. .When it abat
ed the work of years was wiped out and human mis
ery and suffering was left in its whlfe.
The buildings erected by man were as toys
crushed by the wrath of the wind—the beautiful
residences of the well-to-do shared the fate of the
hovels inhabited by the colored people. The Des
troyer played no favorites, but merely dipjied down
and swept away a spot in the city. That the de
vastated portion wa8.not larger was due only.t<^ the
prank of the storm which after dipping for this in
terval, suddenly lifted and spent its force elsewhere.
Such occurrences set one to wondering what
would be the result if the full force of one of these
terrible visitations of Nature was to sweep directly
through the congested parts of some'of our great
cities. Every year many tornadoes sweep over the
country, but usually they hit the open country* where
their destruction is comparatively small. Occasion
ally they strike a portion of some city when the
havoc is terrible as in this instance.
There is little or nothing, that man can do to
provide against this danger as his strongest build
ing« arg as matchwood once the terrible force of the
tornado hits them. It is impossible to predict these
storms and their course is so irregular that no warn
ing can be given in advance. Provision can be made
against floods and structures can even bo built to
withstand ordinary earthquake shocks, but the force
o f the tornado is so great that, the wotks of man are
puny in comparison.
All that can be done is to rush aid to the vic
tim s'and rebuild the shattered homes and other
buildings and hope that, like lightning, the fury
of the wind wiU not strike in the same place twice.
